    Hi Neil,

    A quick correction - 193/213 1403 is at Weymouth. with the Victorian boarding houses just beyond the end of the platforms.
    The weird canopy shape is the remains of the overall roof which was removed in the late 1940's / early 1950's once the Southern had taken control of Weymouth.

    Cheers, Neil
